[Verse 1]
           Gb        Db             Ab
If I were a carpenter and you were a lady
                  Gb      Db                Ab
Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby
           Gb     Db                  Ab
If I were a miller and the mill should grind me
                   Gb        Db              Ab
Would you miss your lover man, your soft shoe shiner, yes

If I were a carpenter and you were a lady

Would you marry me anyway, would you have my baby
